Do any teams do calculations first, later on, or not at all?

It's true the CIMs provide plenty of power for the regolith surface, but we are using four because we have four wheel independent control, and we need to use four motors that are alike. We did some tests with a higher gear ratio, on the theory that we could control better with less torque, but found that the standard kit tuff-box gear ratio worked best.
